Six months

This post comes a little late because of all the tornado drama. Not to mention the doggie daycare drama. I think things are getting better and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. My parents had a wonderful vacation and are now back to our home. The doggie daycare is still short by 1 employee leaving Sherri and I to do that work which is very difficult with my 3, not to mention her 3 year old and soon to be baby. (due July 10th) We have someone new starting next week and I can't wait. I hope she is as good as she sounds and catches on quickly because I certainly don't want to work everyday while Sherri is off but would if I had too.

So now to the good stuff:

Ryan: 12 lbs 2 oz and mommy's little hungry monkey! Man does this boy love to eat!!! He has yet to try a food that he doesn't like. He has no real expressions with new foods just opens his mouth for more. Our foods now include all veggies (Squash, peas, green beans, carrots, and sweet potatoes) and all fruits (prunes, peaches, bananas, pears, applesauce) He just started applesauce tonight so he will start on meats Wednesday and begin his balanced diet along with his bottles everyday. I can't believe how much he has grown and all the things he can do now. He rolls like a champ front to back and back to front. He loves to play with his feet and puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. Gotta love this stage. He loves to interact with his brother and sister as well. He is getting close to sitting up on his own.

Tyler: Little squirt is catching up! 10 lbs 13 oz. He is not a huge fan of eating with a spoon but is getting better. He did not like peas, carrots, or green beans but is ok with squash, sweet potatoes, and as of tonight, prunes. He has not rolled over by himself yet but is trying really hard and does it with very little assistance. He has been behind on rolling and pushing up because he sleeps with a sling that keeps him on his back in one spot so he doesn't slide down his bed at night. He has his bed elevated to prevent reflux. The other two will play and roll in bed when they wake up but he has to stay put until we come get him. We try to give him extra tummy time during the day but he rarely gets more than they do. He is by far my most vocal. He loves to talk to people, especially his brother and sister. He is grasping at toys and starting to bring them to his mouth as well. He likes us to help him sit up. He is very observant and is constantly looking around, he doesn't miss anything.

Emily: My little chunker! 11 lbs 2 oz. She now has little baby fat rolls on her legs. A few months ago I would have never believed that would happen! She is my smiley baby. She also likes to talk to her brother and sister and anyone else who will listen. For those who aren't listening to her...they will because she is really loud and loves to use her attention getting "aaa" (aka, hey listen to me!) She can roll very well but rarely does. She is getting close to sitting up on her own and is also putting everything she gets her hands on in her mouth.

Ryan jerked and made me tear his nail of the skin when we were cutting nails. You know nurses, always prepared just not always with the right size supplies! Our bandaid was a little big! oops!

We are ready for the 4th!
